Yet, whenever I chose to look southward, I saw the\nOttomans fortressaustere, and darkly impending high\nover the vale of the Danubehistoric Belgrade. I had\ncome, as it were, to the end of this wheel-going Europe, and now\nmy eyes would see the splendour and havoc of the East.\nThe two frontier towns are less than a cannon-shot distant,\nand yet their people hold no communion. The Hungarian on\nthe north, and the Turk and Servian on the southern side of the\nSave are as much asunder as though there were fifty broad\nprovinces that lay in the path between them. Of the men\nthat bustled around me in the streets of Semlin there was not,\nperhaps, one who had ever gone down to look upon the stranger\nrace dwelling under the walls of that opposite castle. It\nis the plague, and the dread of the plague, that divide the one\npeople from the other. All coming and going stands\nforbidden by the terrors of the yellow flag. If you dare to\nbreak the laws of the quarantine, you will be tried with military\nhaste; the court will scream out your sentence to you from a\ntribunal some fifty yards off; the priest, instead of gently\nwhispering to you the sweet hopes of religion, will console you\nat duelling distance; and after that you will find yourself\ncarefully shot, and carelessly buried in the ground of the\nlazaretto.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 282 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Kinglake, Alexander William \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 1, 1995 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Kinglake, Alexander William,1809-1891 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211104551069,"sku":"gb-282-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/282_688dec46-a805-4472-8a50-6815577f719a.jpg?v=1671247762"},{"product_id":"notes-on-a-journey-from-cornhill-to-grand-cairo-gb-1863","title":"Notes on a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes on a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      On the 20th of August, 1844, the writer of this little book went to dine\n      at theClub, quite unconscious of the wonderful events which Fate\n      had in store for him.\n    \n\n      Mr. William was there, giving a farewell dinner to his friend Mr. James\n      (now Sir James). These two asked Mr. Titmarsh to join company with them,\n      and the conversation naturally fell upon the tour Mr. James was about to\n      take. The Peninsular and Oriental Company had arranged an excursion in the\n      Mediterranean, by which, in the space of a couple of months, as many men\n      and cities were to be seen as Ulysses surveyed and noted in ten years.\n      Malta, Athens, Smyrna, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo were to be\n      visited, and everybody was to be back in London by Lord Mayor's Day.\n    \n\n      The idea of beholding these famous places inflamed Mr. Titmarsh's mind;\n      and the charms of such a journey were eloquently impressed upon him by Mr.\n      James. \"Come,\" said that kind and hospitable gentleman, \"and make one of\n      my family party; in all your life you will never probably have a chance\n      again to see so much in so short a time. Considerit is as easy as a\n      journey to Paris or to Baden.\" Mr. Titmarsh considered all these things;\n      but also the difficulties of the situation: he had but six-and-thirty\n      hours to get ready for so portentous a journeyhe had engagements at\n      home finally, could he afford it? In spite of these objections,\n      however, with every glass of claret the enthusiasm somehow rose, and the\n      difficulties vanished.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1863 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Thackeray, William Makepeace \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 1, 1999 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Thackeray, William Makepeace,1811-1863 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212197953693,"sku":"gb-1863-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/1863_2861b78d-2816-47ad-9e86-490d5c6ec9a6.jpg?v=1671251836"},{"product_id":"unbeaten-tracks-in-japan-gb-2184","title":"Unbeaten Tracks in Japan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnbeaten Tracks in Japan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving been recommended to leave\nhome, in April 1878, in order to recruit my health by means which\nhad proved serviceable before, I decided to visit Japan,\nattracted less by the reputed excellence of its climate than by\nthe certainty that it possessed, in an especial degree, those\nsources of novel and sustained interest which conduce so\nessentially to the enjoyment and restoration of a solitary\nhealth-seeker. The climate disappointed me, but, though I\nfound the country a study rather than a rapture, its interest\nexceeded my largest expectations.\nThis is not a Book on Japan, but a narrative of\ntravels in Japan, and an attempt to contribute something to the\nsum of knowledge of the present condition of the country, and it\nwas not till I had travelled for some months in the interior of\nthe main island and in Yezo that I decided that my materials were\nnovel enough to render the contribution worth making. From\nNikk northwards my route was altogether off the beaten\ntrack, and had never been traversed in its entirety by any\nEuropean. I lived among the Japanese, and saw their mode of\nliving, in regions unaffected by European contact. As a\nlady travelling alone, and the first European lady who had been\nseen in several districts through which my route lay, my\nexperiences differed more or less widely from those of preceding\ntravellers; and I am able to offer a fuller account of the\naborigines of Yezo, obtained by actual acquaintance p. xwith them, than\nhas hitherto been given. These are my chief reasons for\noffering this volume to the public.\nIt was with some reluctance that I decided that it should\nconsist mainly of letters written on the spot to my sister and a\ncircle of personal friends, for this form of publication involves\nthe sacrifice of artistic arrangement and literary treatment, and\nnecessitates a certain amount of egotism; but, on the other hand,\nit places the reader in the position of the traveller, and makes\nhim share the vicissitudes of travel, discomfort, difficulty, and\ntedium, as well as novelty and enjoyment. The beaten\ntracks, with the exception of Nikk, have been\ndismissed in a few sentences, but where their features have\nundergone marked changes within a few years, as in the case of\nTkiy (Yedo), they have been sketched more or less\nslightly. Many important subjects are necessarily passed\nover.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2184 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bird, Isabella L.

Indeed, I could have printed my notes\n      and journals at once, leaving all reference to questions of natural\n      history for a future work; but, I felt that this would be as\n      unsatisfactory to myself as it would be disappointing to my friends, and\n      uninstructive to the public.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2530 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Wallace, Alfred Russel \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 2001 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Wallace, Alfred Russel,1823-1913 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212262015133,"sku":"gb-2530-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2530_596c6738-33c4-4524-8e1e-6e016ec48fbd.jpg?v=1671253556"},{"product_id":"the-malay-archipelago-volume-2-gb-2539","title":"The Malay Archipelago, Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Malay Archipelago, Volume 2\r - The Land of the Orang-utan and the Bird of Paradise; A Narrative of Travel, with Studies of Man and Nature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n  CHAPTER XXI.

There are certain startling\r\n    incidents still fresh in my memory that I could relate, but they would be out of\r\n    place in a work of this nature. A considerable amount of the subject-matter contained\r\n    herein is devoted to a descriptive account of the wonderful transformation that has\r\n    overtaken the city since my first arrival in the sixties, and to the many and varied\r\n    structural improvements and additions that have been, and are still being, made in\r\n    streets and buildings, both public and private. The origin and conception of this\r\n    little work is due to the inspiration of my friend Walter Exley of the\r\n    Statesman staff. I had often before been approached by friends and others on\r\n    the subject of writing and publishing what I could tell of Calcutta of the olden\r\n    days, but I had always felt some diffidence in doing so partly because I thought it\r\n    might not prove sufficiently interesting. But when Mr. Exley appeared on the scene\r\n    last July, introduced to me by a mutual friend, matters seemed somehow to assume a\r\n    different aspect. In the first place I felt that I was talking to a man of\r\n    considerable knowledge and experience in journalistic affairs, and one whose opinion\r\n    was worth listening to, and it was in consequence of what he told me that for the\r\n    first time I seriously contemplated putting into effect what I had so frequently\r\n    hesitated to do in the past. He assured me I was mistaken in the view I had held, and\r\n    that what I could relate would make attractive reading to the present generation of\r\n    Europeans, not only in the city, but also in the mofussil. I finally yielded to\r\n    persuasion, and throwing back my memory over the years tried to conjure up visions of\r\n    Calcutta of the past. A good deal in the earlier part refers to a period which few,\r\n    if any, Europeans at present in this country know of except through the medium of\r\n    books. The three articles published in the columns of the Statesman of the\r\n    22nd and 29th July and 5th August were the first outcome of our conversation. I then\r\n    left Calcutta for a tour up-country as stated on page 28, and the work was\r\n    temporarily suspended. It was not until the early part of September, when I had\r\n    settled down for a season at Naini Tal, that I resumed the threads of my narrative.\r\n    It was at first my intention to continue publishing a series of short articles in the\r\n    columns of the Statesman, but as I proceeded it gradually dawned upon my mind\r\n    that I could achieve a twofold object by compiling my recollections in book form in\r\n    aid of the Red Cross Fund. Whether it was due to this new and additional incentive\r\n    which may perhaps have had the effect of stimulating my mental powers I know not, but\r\n    as I continued to write on, scenes and events long since forgotten seemed gradually\r\n    to well up out of the dim and far distant past and visualize on the tablets of my\r\n    memory. I was thus enabled to extend and develop the scope of the work beyond the\r\n    limit I had originally contemplated. My one and ardent hope now is that the book may\r\n    prove a financial success for the benefit of the funds of the Society on whose behalf\r\n    it is published. That some who perhaps might not care to take a copy simply for its\r\n    own sake will not hesitate to do so and thus assist by his or her own personal action\r\n    in however small a degree in carrying on the good and noble work which must awaken in\r\n    our hearts all the best and finest instincts of our nature, as well as our warmest\r\n    and deepest sympathies.\nI have to express my great thanks to Lady Carmichael for her\r\n    kindness and courtesy in having graciously accorded me permission to dedicate the\r\n    work to her on behalf of the Red Cross Fund.\nMy thanks are also due to my friend P. Tennyson Cole, the eminent\r\n    portrait painter, who did me the honour of painting my portrait for the book at\r\n    considerable sacrifice of his very valuable time. Unfortunately, however, it was\r\n    found impossible to make use of the portrait, as the time at our disposal was too\r\n    short to permit of its reproduction.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 12617 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Massey, Montague \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Massey, Montague \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216349233309,"sku":"gb-12617-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/12617.jpg?v=1671347554"},{"product_id":"krakatau-en-de-straat-soenda-gb-15038","title":"Krakatau en de Straat Soenda","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKrakatau en de Straat Soenda\r - De Aarde en haar Volken, 1886\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe herinnering aan de ontzettende ramp, die in Augustus 1883 het eiland Krakatau en de naastbij gelegen kusten van Java en\r\nSumatra getroffen heeft, iszoo als het altijd gaatdoor den stroom van latere gebeurtenissen en indrukken uitgewischt.

Impelled by a\r\nparticular inclination to linguistic science, I had in early youth\r\noccupied myself with several languages of Europe and Asia. The various\r\nstores of Oriental and Western literature were in the first instance\r\nthe object of my eager study. At a later period I began to interest\r\nmyself in the reciprocal relations of the languages themselves; and\r\nhere it is not surprising if I, in applying the proverb 'nosce\r\nteipsum,' directed my principal attention to the affinities and to the\r\norigin of my own mother-tongue.\r\n\n\r\nThat the Hungarian language belongs to the stock called Altaic is well\r\nknown, but whether it is to be referred to the Finnish or the Tartaric\r\nbranch is a question that still awaits decision. This enquiry,\r\ninteresting  [Footnote 1] to us Hungarians both in a scientific and\r\n{viii} a national point of view, was the principal and the moving\r\ncause of my journey to the East. I was desirous of ascertaining, by\r\nthe practical study of the living languages, the positive degree of\r\naffinity which had at once struck me as existing between the Hungarian\r\nand the Turco-Tartaric dialects when contemplating them by the feeble\r\nlight which theory supplied. I went first to Constantinople. Several\r\nyears' residence in Turkish houses, and frequent visits to Islamite\r\nschools and libraries, soon transformed me into a Turk--nay, into an\r\nEfendi. The progress of my linguistic researches impelled me further\r\ntowards the remote East; and when I proposed to carry out my views by\r\nactually undertaking a journey to Central Asia, I found it advisable\r\nto retain this character of Efendi, and to visit the East as an\r\nOriental.\r\n\n\r\n  [Footnote 1: The opinion consequently that we Hungarians go to Asia\r\n  to seek there those of our race who were left behind, is erroneous.\r\n  Such an object, the carrying out of which, both from ethnographical\r\n  as well as philological reasons, would be an impossibility, would\r\n  render a man amenable to the charge of gross ignorance.

More recently I have had the\r\ngood fortune to travel in the Eastern Himalaya with Dr.\r\nHooker, and it was a source of great gratification to me,\r\nwhen we met, to find that in studying these mountains\r\nat opposite extremities of the chain, the results at which\r\nwe had arrived were almost identical.\nMy botanical collections, which were very extensive,\r\nhave as yet been only roughly assorted, and the names\r\nof plants given in the present work are chiefly derived\r\nfrom a careful comparison of specimens with the Hookerian\r\nHerbarium at Kew,a collection which, as is well known\r\nto Botanists, both from its extent and from the liberality\r\nwith which it is thrown open to students of that science,\r\noccupies in this country the place of a national collection.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 42146 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Thomson, Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 20, 2013 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Thomson, Thomas,1817-1878 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221342486685,"sku":"gb-42146-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/42146.jpg?v=1671592866"},{"product_id":"trans-himalaya-discoveries-and-adventurers-in-tibet-vol-1-of-2-gb-43497","title":"Trans-Himalaya: Discoveries and Adventurers in Tibet.

The late King showed as warm and intelligent\r\nan interest in my plan for a new expedition as he had on\r\nformer occasions, and assisted in the fulfilment of my\r\nproject with much increased liberality.\nI estimated the cost of the journey at 80,000 kronor\r\n(about 4400), and this sum was subscribed within a week\r\nby my old friend Emmanuel Nobel, and my patrons,\r\nFrederik Lwenadler, Oscar Ekman, Robert Dickson,\r\nWilliam Olsson, and Henry Ruffer, banker in London.\r\nI cannot adequately express my thanks to these gentlemen.\r\nIn consequence of the political difficulties I encountered in\r\nIndia, which forced me to make wide detours, the expenses\r\nwere increased by about 50,000 kronor (2800), but this\r\nsum I was able to draw from my own resources.\nAs on former occasions, I have this time also to thank\r\nDr. Nils Ekholm for his great kindness in working out\r\nthe absolute heights. The three lithographic maps have\r\nbeen compiled from my original sheets with painstaking\r\ncare by Lieutenant C. J. Otto Kjellstrm, who devoted all\r\nhis furlough to this troublesome work. The astronomical\r\npoints, nearly one hundred, have been calculated by the\r\nAssistant Roth of the Stockholm Observatory; a few\r\npoints, which appeared doubtful, were omitted in drawing\r\nthe route on the map, which is based on points previously\r\ndetermined. The map illustrating my narrative in the\r\nGeographical Journal, April 1909, I drew roughly from\r\nmemory without consulting the original sheets, for I had\r\nno time to spare; the errors which naturally crept in have\r\nbeen corrected on the new maps, but I wish to state here\r\nthe cause of the discrepancy.

In answer to this\nrequest I gave you a large French map, on which the course of my\njourneys had been carefully marked; but I did not conceal from\nmyself that this was rather a dry mode for a man to adopt when he\nwished to impart the results of his experience to a dear and\nintimate friend. Now, long before the period of your\nplanning an Oriental tour I had intended to write some account of\nmy Eastern travels. I had, indeed, begun the task, and had\nfailed; I had begun it a second time, and failing again, had\nabandoned my attempt with a sensation of utter distaste. I\nwas unable to speak out, and chiefly, I think, for this reason,\nthat I knew not to whom I was speaking. It might be you, or\nperhaps our Lady of Bitterness, [xxxv] who would read\nmy story, or it might be some member of the Royal p.\nxxxviStatistical Society, and how on earth was I to write\nin a way that would do for all three?\nWell, your request for a sketch of my tour suggested to me the\nidea of complying with your wish by a revival of my\ntwice-abandoned attempt. I tried; and the pleasure and\nconfidence which I felt in speaking to you soon made my task so\neasy, and even amusing, that after a while (though not in time\nfor your tour) I completed the scrawl from which this book was\noriginally printed.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 43684 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Kinglake, Alexander William \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 10, 2013 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Kinglake, Alexander William,1809-1891 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221431419037,"sku":"gb-43684-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/43684.jpg?v=1671598523"},{"product_id":"wanderings-in-india-and-other-sketches-of-life-in-hindostan-gb-43997","title":"Wanderings in India, and Other Sketches of Life in Hindostan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWanderings in India, and Other Sketches of Life in Hindostan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[1]\nIt is some eighteen years since this institution was\r\nfounded, at Mussoorie, one of the chief sanataria in\r\nthe Himalaya mountains.

The lower room,\r\nwhich is some sixty feet long by twenty-five wide, is\r\nthe dining-room, breakfast-room, and reception-room.\r\nThe upper room is the reading and the ball-room.\r\nThe club has also its billiard-room, which is\r\nbuilt on the ledge of a precipice; and its stables,[2]\r\nwhich would astonish most persons in Europe.

The circumstances which led to its appearance may be very\r\nbriefly stated.\r\n\n\r\nOn the Serjeant's arrival in this country from India, he found\r\nhimself surrounded by an extensive circle of relations, to which the\r\nexcellence of his own character soon added many personal friends. As\r\nmight be expected, the occurrences of his past life and travels,\r\nfrequently formed the topics of conversation at their occasional\r\nmeetings; and as he had from an early period, for his own amusement\r\nand edification, been in the habit of keeping an exact journal of all\r\n\"the providences that befel him,\" he frequently had recourse to it for\r\nthe purpose of aiding his recollection, and exhibiting more vividly\r\nthe state of his feelings at various periods, and under the various\r\nincidents of his life. Many passages of the Journal excited a very\r\npleasing and deep interest in those to whom they were communicated,\r\nand the desire of perusing it gradually extended itself to persons\r\nin a higher condition of life. A clergyman particularly, under whose\r\npastoral care he was for some time placed, was so much struck with the\r\ninteresting, as well as the instructive character of these \"simple\r\nannals,\" that he urged the Author, in a very kind but pressing manner,\r\nto collect the more material passages in the original Journal into\r\nsomething like a continued narrative; and to transcribe them in\r\na connected and legible form, for the private enjoyment of his\r\nparticular friends. Our Author, to whom nothing is more agreeable than\r\nto have his mind or hands usefully occupied, undertook the task, and\r\nexecuted it with a degree of neatness, which would have done great\r\ncredit to a more practised scribe. The manuscript volume was, of\r\ncourse, in very great request in his own neighbourhood, and was\r\nperused by none without peculiar pleasure; but, for several years, no\r\nidea of printing it presented itself to his own mind, though it was\r\nfrequently suggested by those who had been permitted to read it. It\r\nlately fell into the hands of the writer of this notice, whose\r\nfeelings in perusing it certainly were those of extreme delight;\r\nand finding that one or two friends, in whose judgment he placed\r\nthe highest confidence, coincided with him in opinion, he strongly\r\nrecommended to the Author that it should be published. His reluctance\r\nto this public appearance, was only overcome through the influence of\r\na suggestion rising up in his own mind, that the work might not only\r\nperhaps afford pleasure and instruction, but that, should any profits\r\narise from the sale, he would be enabled thereby to gratify his\r\nfeelings, by devoting them to the support of Bible and Missionary\r\nSocieties, or other pious purposes.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 45531 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Butler, Robert \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 29, 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Butler, Robert,1784- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221567373469,"sku":"gb-45531-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/45531.jpg?v=1671606459"},{"product_id":"voyage-en-egypte-et-en-syrie-tome-2-gb-46469","title":"Voyage en Égypte et en Syrie - Tome 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVoyage en Égypte et en Syrie - Tome 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAR C.

Ses ennemis\r\naiment  rappeler que dans sa jeunesse il conduisait des chameaux; mais\r\nce trait, qui honore son esprit en faisant concevoir lespace quil sut\r\nfranchir, na rien dincompatible avec une naissance distingue: il est,\r\net sera toujours dans les murs des princes arabes de soccuper de\r\nfonctions qui nous semblent viles. Ainsi que je lai dja dit, les\r\nchaiks guident eux-mmes leurs chameaux, et soignent leurs chevaux,\r\npendant que leurs filles et leurs femmes broyent le bl, cuisent le\r\npain, lavent le linge, et vont  la fontaine, comme au temps dAbraham\r\net dHomre; et peut-tre cette vie simple et laborieuse fait-elle plus\r\npour le bonheur que loisivet ennuye et le faste rassasi, qui\r\nentourent les grands des nations polices. Quant  Dher, il est\r\nconstant que sa famille tait une des plus puissantes du pays. Aprs la\r\nmort dOmar son pre, arrive dans les premires annes du sicle, il\r\npartagea le commandement avec un oncle et deux frres. Son domaine fut\r\nSafad, petite ville et lieu fort dans les montagnes au nord-ouest du\r\nlac de Tabari. Peu aprs, il y ajouta Tabari mme. Cest lui que\r\nPocoke[1] y trouva en 1737, occup  se fortifier contre le pacha de\r\nDamas, qui peu auparavant avait fait trangler un de ses frres. En\r\n1742, un autre pacha, nomm Soliman-el-dm, ly assigea et bombarda\r\nla place, au grand tonnement de la Syrie, qui mme aujourdhui connat\r\npeu les bombes[2]. Malgr son courage, Dher tait aux abois,\r\nlorsquun incident heureux et, dit-on, prmdit, le tira dembarras.\r\nUne colique violente et subite emporta Soliman en deux jours.\r\nAsd-el-dm, son frre et son successeur, neut pas les mmes raisons\r\nou les mmes dispositions pour continuer la guerre, et Dher fut\r\ntranquille du ct des Ottomans. Mais son caractre remuant et les\r\nchicanes de ses voisins lui donnrent dautres affaires. Des discussions\r\ndintrt le brouillrent avec son oncle et son frre. Plus dune fois\r\non en vint aux armes, et Dher toujours vainqueur, jugea  propos de\r\nterminer ces tracasseries par la mort de ses concurrents. Alors revtu\r\nde toute la puissance de sa maison, et absolument matre de ses forces,\r\nil ouvrit une plus grande carrire  son ambition. Le commerce quil\r\nfaisait, selon la coutume de tous les gouverneurs et princes dAsie, lui\r\navait fait sentir lavantage quil y aurait  communiquer immdiatement\r\navec la mer. Il avait conu quun port entre ses mains serait un march\r\npublic, o les trangers tabliraient une concurrence favorable au dbit\r\nde ses denres. Acre, situ  sa porte et sous ses yeux, convenait \r\nses desseins: depuis plusieurs annes, il y faisait des affaires avec\r\nles comptoirs franais. Acre,  la vrit, ntait quun monceau de\r\nruines, un misrable village ouvert et sans dfense. Le pacha de Saide y\r\ntenait un aga et quelques soldats qui nosaient se montrer en campagne.\r\nLes Bdouins y dominaient, et faisaient la loi jusquaux portes. La\r\nplaine, jadis si fertile, ntait quune vaste friche, o les eaux\r\ncroupissaient, et par leurs vapeurs empestaient les environs. Lancien\r\nport tait combl, mais la rade de Hafa, qui en dpend, offrait un\r\navantage si prcieux, que Dher se dcida  en profiter. Il fallait un\r\nprtexte: la conduite de laga ne tarda pas de loffrir. Un jour que\r\nlon avait dbarqu des munitions de guerre destines contre le chaik,\r\nil marcha brusquement vers Acre, prvint laga par une lettre\r\nmenaante qui lui fit prendre la fuite, et entra sans coup frir dans la\r\nville, o il stablit; cela se passait vers 1749. Il avait alors\r\nenviron 63 ans.

Its resources, as they become better\nknown, will be more rapidly developed. They are promising fields, which\nwill encourage and reward adventure; inviting receptacles for the\nsuperfluities of European wealth, activity, and intelligence, whose\nstreams will flow back [vi]upon their sources with\never-augmenting contributions. Commerce will complete the work in peace\nand prosperity, which conquest began in perturbation and peril.\nWhatever clouds may hang over portions of the globe, there is a\nbrighter dawning, a wider sunrise, over the whole; and the flights of\ntime, and the explorings of space, are alike helping the\ninfinite progression of good.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 46695 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bowring, John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 26, 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Bowring, John,1792-1872 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221683765405,"sku":"gb-46695-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/46695.jpg?v=1671610838"},{"product_id":"a-journal-of-the-disasters-in-affghanistan-1841-2-gb-50219","title":"A Journal of the Disasters in Affghanistan, 1841-2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Journal of the Disasters in Affghanistan, 1841-2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first of two maps precedes the Introduction. It lacks a caption\r\nbut probably depicts the Kabul or Khood Cabul Pass. \"Boot Khak\" named on\r\nthe map is probably the \"Bhoodkhak\" of the Journal.\nThe absence of the Author from England, and the consequent impossibility\r\nof consulting her during the progress of this work through the press,\r\nmay have caused some errors to creep in,especially in the spelling of\r\nthe oriental words. The greatest care, however, has been taken to adhere\r\nexactly to the original manuscript.\n****I\r\nhave not only daily\r\nnoted down events as they occurred, but often have\r\ndone so hourly. I have also given the reports of\r\nthe day, the only information we possessed; also\r\nsuch news as was telegraphed from the Bala Hissar,\r\nor sent in by the King or by Capt. Conolly to the\r\nEnvoy; and many other reports brought by\r\nAffghan gentlemen of Capt. Sturt's[1]\r\nacquaintance, and by others of lower degree, who having\r\nhad dealings with him in the engineer department\r\nand public works, and having received kindness\r\nfrom him, gave him such intelligence and\r\nwarning as was in their power: all of which he\r\ncommunicated [to his superior officers] at different\r\ntimes; but the warnings were not attended to;\r\nand as when he gave his advice it was seldom\r\n{2}\r\nadhered to, he became disgusted, and contented\r\nhimself with zealously performing his duties and\r\nmaking himself generally useful, acting the part of\r\nan artillery officer as well as that of an engineer.\r\nHad poor Sturt's life been spared, it was his intention\r\nto have worked up my Rough Notes,\r\nand to have added much valuable information: he\r\nwas too much overworked to afford leisure to give\r\nme assistance at the time. His plans, drawings,\r\n\u0026amp;c ., with his public and private papers, were lost,\r\nexcept a note or two that were, just a few days\r\nbefore we left Cabul, put with my Journal. I\r\nbelieve several people kept an account of these\r\nproceedings, but all except myself lost all they\r\nhad written; and had recourse to memory afterwards.\r\nI lost every thing except the clothes I\r\nwore; and therefore it may appear strange that I\r\nshould have saved these papers. The mystery is,\r\nhowever, easily solved. After every thing was\r\npacked on the night before we left Cabul, I sat\r\nup to add a few lines to the events of the day,\r\nand the next morning I put them in a small bag\r\nand tied them round my waist. I am indebted to\r\nCapt. Souter, of H. M. 44th Regiment, for a plan,\r\nfrom recollection, of the cantonment and forts.\r\nThe inaccuracies, if any, are but trifling; and it is\r\nsufficiently clear to indicate the positions of the\r\nprincipal places alluded to.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 50219 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Sale, Florentia Wynch \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 15, 2015 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Sale, Florentia Wynch,1790-1853 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43222085304477,"sku":"gb-50219-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/50219_9eb46e77-b06b-4446-9886-5addc864d3b7.jpg?v=1671772565"},{"product_id":"transhimalaja-loytoja-ja-seikkailuja-tibetissa-1-of-2-gb-50728","title":"Transhimalaja: Löytöjä ja seikkailuja Tibetissä. 1 (of 2)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranshimalaja: Löytöjä ja seikkailuja Tibetissä. 1 (of 2)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlkulause.\r\n\r\n1.

The principal object of my journey\nwas to trace the course of the Indus; which had\nonly been crossed at particular points by former\ntravellers, and had never been surveyed but\nbetween Tatta and Hydrabad.

The consequence\nof the unsettled state of affairs in those wild districts was, that the roads were\nunsafe for travelers; merchants were afraid to trust their merchandise to the conveyance\neven of well-armed caravans, for they were constantly pillaged by the Koords, headed\nin our days by the great chieftains Beder Khan Bey, Noor Ullah Bey, Khan Abdall, and\nKhan Mahmoud. The chains of mountains which occupy great part of the country in question\nare for months every year covered with snow, which even in the elevated plains lies\nat the depth of many yards; the bands of robbers constantly on the watch for plunder\nof any kind prevented the mountain paths from being kept open, so that those who escaped\nfrom the long lances of the Koords perished in the avalanches and the snowdrifts by\nhundreds every year.\n\nTo put a stop, or at least a check, to so lamentable a state of things, the governments\nof Turkey and Persia requested the assistance of England and Russia to [vi]draw up a treaty of peace, and to come to a distinct understanding as to where the\nline of border ran between the two empires; for hitherto the Koordish tribes of Turkey\nmade it a virtue to plunder a Persian village, and the Persians, on their side, considered\nno action more meritorious, as well as profitable, than an inroad on the Turkish frontier,\nthe forays on both sides being conducted on the same plan. The invading party, always\non horseback, and with a number of trained led horses, which could travel one hundred\nmiles without flagging, managed to arrive in the neighborhood of the devoted village\none hour before sunrise. The barking of the village curs was the first notice to the\nsleeping inhabitants that the enemy was literally at the door. The houses were fired\nin every direction; the people awoke from sleep, and, trying in confusion to escape,\nwere speared on their thresholds by their invaders; the place was plundered of every\nthing worth taking; and one hour after sunrise the invading bands were in full retreat,\ndriving before them the flocks and herds of their victims, and the children and girls\nof the village bound on the led horses, to be sold or brought up as slaves; the rest\nhaving, young and old, men and women, been killed without mercy, to prevent their\ngiving the alarm: their victors frequently coming down upon them from a distance of\none hundred to three hundred miles.\n\nIn hopes of remedying these misfortunes, a conference was appointed at Erzeroom, where\na Turkish plenipotentiary, Noori Effendi; a Persian plenipotentiary, Merza Jaffer\nKhan; a Russian commissioner, Colonel Dainese; and an English commissioner, Colonel\n[vii]Williams, of the Royal Artillery, were to meet, each with a numerous suite, to discuss\nthe position of the boundary, and to check the border incursions of the Koordish tribes,\nboth by argument and by force of arms, the troops of both nations being ordered to\nassist the deliberations of the congress at Erzeroom by every endeavor on their part\nto keep the country in a temporary state of tranquillity. The plenipotentiaries on\nthe part of Turkey and Persia, and the English and Russian commissioners, entered\nupon their arduous task at the beginning of the year 1842. Colonel Williams, to whom\nthe duties of the English commission had been intrusted, was too unwell to proceed\nto Erzeroom, and I was appointed in his stead, being at that time private secretary\nto Sir Stratford Canning, her majestys embassador at Constantinople. Colonel Williams\nafterward recovered so much that he was able to set out, and we started together as\njoint commissioners, in company with Colonel (afterward General) Dainese, on the part\nof Russia, a gentleman of very considerable talents and attainments. The discussions\nbetween the two governments were protracted by every conceivable difficulty, which\nwas thrown in the way of the commissioners principally by the Turks. At length, in\nJune, 1847, a treaty was signed, in which the confines of the two empires were defined:\nthese, however, being situated in places never surveyed, and only known by traditional\nmaps, which had copied the names of places one from another since the invention of\nengraving, it was considered advisable that the true situations of these places should\nbe verified in a scientific manner; consequently, a new commission [viii]was named in the year 1848, whose officers were instructed to define the actual position\nof the spots enumerated in the treaty above mentioned. These commissioners consisted\nof Dervish Pasha for Turkey, Merza Jaffer for Persia, Colonel Williams for England,\nand Colonel Ktchirikoff for Russia.\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 58361 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Curzon, Robert \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 26, 2018 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Curzon, Robert,1810-1873 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43240855535773,"sku":"gb-58361-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/58361.jpg?v=1672507889"},{"product_id":"travels-into-bokhara-volume-2-of-3-gb-64247","title":"Travels Into Bokhara (Volume 2 of 3)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTravels Into Bokhara (Volume 2 of 3)\r - Being the Account of A Journey from India to Cabool, Tartary, and Persia; Also, Narrative of a Voyage on the Indus, From the Sea to Lahore, With Presents From the King of Great Britain; Performed Under the Orders of the Supreme Government of India, in the Years 1831, 1832, and 1833\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nALSO, NARRATIVE OF\nA VOYAGE ON THE INDUS,\r\n\r\nFROM THE SEA TO LAHORE,\r\n\r\nWITH PRESENTS FROM THE KING OF GREAT BRITAIN;\r\n\r\nPERFORMED UNDER THE ORDERS OF THE SUPREME GOVERNMENT\r\nOF INDIA, IN THE YEARS 1831, 1832, AND 1833.\nAt midday, on the 16th of August, we commenced\r\nour march on the Oxus, which was\r\nabout twenty-seven miles distant. After journeying\r\nfor ten miles, we halted in the evening\r\nat a small village, and set out at midnight\r\nfor the river, under a bright moon.\r\nSand hills.\r\nFor a\r\ngreat part of the night our route led us among\r\nvast fields of soft sand, formed into ridges which\r\nexactly resembled, in colour and appearance,\r\nthose on the verge of the ocean. The belt of\r\nthese sand-hills, which lie between Bokhara and\r\nthe Oxus, varies in breadth from twelve to\r\nfifteen miles. They were utterly destitute of\r\nvegetation. There was a remarkable uniformity\r\nin their formation; the whole of them preserved\r\nthe shape and form of a horse-shoe,\r\nthe outer rim presenting itself to the north,\r\nthe direction from which the winds of this\r\ncountry blow. On this side the mounds sloped,[2]\r\nwhile the interior of the figure was invariably\r\nprecipitous; but loose sand will ever take\r\nits position from the prevailing winds. None\r\nof the hills exceeded the height of fifteen or\r\ntwenty feet, and they all rested on a hard base.\r\nThe wind was high, and the particles of sand\r\nmoved from one mound to another, wheeling\r\nin the eddy or interior of the semicircle, and\r\nhaving now and then, particularly under the\r\nrays of the sun, much the look of water; an\r\nappearance, I imagine, which has given rise to\r\nthe opinion of moving sands in a desert. The\r\nthermometer, which had risen to 100, fell at\r\nnight to 70 among the sand-hills; and I have\r\nalways observed that the vicissitudes of cold\r\nand heat are greatest among sand. About an\r\nhour after the sun had risen, we exchanged this\r\ndreary route for verdant fields, irrigated by the\r\nOxus; and, after winding among them for about\r\nfour miles, encamped on the verge of the river,\r\nwhere we hid ourselves from the suns rays\r\nunder the panniers of our camels.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 64247 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Burnes, Alexander \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 9, 2021 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Burnes, Alexander \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43250023366813,"sku":"gb-64247-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/64247.webp?v=1672915144"},{"product_id":"travels-into-bokhara-volume-3-of-3-gb-66386","title":"Travels into Bokhara (Volume 3 of 3)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTravels into Bokhara (Volume 3 of 3) - Being the Account of A Journey from India to Cabool, Tartary, and Persia; Also, Narrative of a Voyage on the Indus, From the Sea to Lahore, With Presents From the King of Great Britain; Performed Under the Orders of the Supreme Government of India, in the Years 1831, 1832, and 1833\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was employed as an officer of the Quartermaster-generals\ndepartment, for several years, in\nthe province of Cutch. In the course of enquiries\ninto its geography and history, I visited\nthe eastern mouth of the Indus, to which the\ncountry adjoins, as well as that singular tract\ncalled the Run, into which that river flows.\nThe extension of our knowledge in that quarter\nserved only to excite further curiosity, in which\nI was stimulated by Lieut-General Sir Thomas\nBradford, then Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay\narmy. That officer directed his views, in a\nmost enlightened manner, to the acquisition of\nevery information regarding a frontier so important\nto Britain as that of north-western India.\nEncouraged by such approbation, for which I\nam deeply grateful, I volunteered my services,[x]\nin the year 1829, to traverse the deserts between\nIndia and the Indus, and finally, endeavour to\ndescend that river to the sea. Such a journey\ninvolved matters of political moment; but the\ngovernment of Bombay was then held by an individual\ndistinguished above all others, by zeal\nin the cause of Asiatic geography and literature.\nSir John Malcolm despatched me at once, in\nprosecution of the design, and was pleased to\nremove me to the political branch of the service,\nobserving, that I should be then invested with\ninfluence with the rulers, through whose\ncountry I travelled, that would tend greatly\nto allay that jealousy and alarm, which might\nimpede, if they did not arrest, the progress of\nmy enquiries.\nIn the year 1830, I entered the desert, accompanied\nby Lieut. James Holland, of the\nQuartermaster-generals department, an officer\nably qualified to assist me. After reaching\nJaysulmeer, we were overtaken by an express\nfrom the Supreme Government of India, desiring\nus to return, since at that time it was deemed[xi]\ninexpedient to incur the hazard of exciting\nthe alarm and jealousy of the rulers of Sinde,\nand other foreign states, by the prosecution of\nthe design. This disappointment, then most\nacutely felt, was dissipated in the following year,\nby the arrival of presents from the King of Great\nBritain for the ruler of Lahore, coupled, at the\nsame time, with the desire that such an opportunity\nfor acquiring correct information of the\nIndus should not be overlooked. The following\nwork contains the narrative of that mission,\nwhich I conducted by the Indus to Lahore.\nThe information which I collected, relative to\nJaysulmeer and the countries on the N.

It is\nhoped that a compendious and popular account of the expedition of 1868\nwill be acceptable, if only as an introduction to the simple narrative\nof the mission of this year, commanded by Colonel Horace Browne. The\nstatement of the difficulties which beset our advance in 1868 will\nprepare the reader to estimate the opposition which, under a changed\npolitical condition of the country, compelled the mission under Colonel\nBrowne to return without accomplishing its object.\nThe narrative of our experiences of the border[Pg iv] country between Bham\nand Yunnan, and its motley population, has been supplemented from\nmaterials collected by Colonel Sladen, including a catalogue of Kakhyen\ndeities obtained by him, and which will be found in the Appendix, along\nwith a Panthay account of the origin of the Chinese Mahommedans.

But the days go on, and we are\ngetting accustomed to live in a state of war; war has\nalmost become a normal condition of existence. At\nfirst we could do nothing but consider the facts of\nthe great quarrel of nations and the exploits of the\narmies. War for the moment seemed to be our life,\nour culture, and our religion. But things have\nchanged. War started by concentrating us and\nmaking us narrow, but now it is giving us greater\nbreadth. We have become more interested in the\nhome life of our Allies, in the after-the-war prospects\nof Europe, in the future of our own British\nEmpire and of the wide world generally. The war\nhas given us a larger consciousness, and we have\nbecome, as some say, Continental. In any case,[x]\nwe are much less insular. France and Russia have\nbecome real places to the man in the street, and the\naccount he gives of them is more credible. Even\nour country labourer can say where Gallipoli is, Mesopotamia,\nEgypt, Salonica, Bulgaria, Serbia, though,\nindeed, I have frequently heard the latter spoken of\nas Siberia. My sons gone to Siberia, says the\ncountryman; its a cold place. Our imagination\nranges farther afield, and young men of all classes\nthink of making far travels when the war is\nover. We are not less interested in other things,\nbut more; only less interested in the old suffocating\nbusiness and industrial life of the time before\nthe war, of the stuffy rooms, the circumscribed\nhorizons, the dull grind. All eyes are opened wider,\nall hearts have greater hopes, and that which dares in\nus dares more. We are reading more, reading better,\nand, among other matters, are thinking more of foreign\ncountries, empires, far-away climes. The war, bringing\nso many nations together, has touched imaginations.\nIt has mixed our themes of conversations and enriched\nour life with new colours, new ideas. So, perhaps,\nthe story of this journey and my impressions of an\ninteresting but remote portion of the Tsars Empire\nwill not come amiss just now. Moreover, during the\nwar many problems have become clearer, especially\nthose of the British Empire, clearer, but none the\nless unsolved, and I feel that a study of a vast stretch[xi]\nof the Russian Empire, and of its problems and its\nprospective future, cannot but be helpful.\nAmong the letters sent me care of The Times there\nis one written about an article which has become a\nchapter in this book:\nSince I was a child and steeped myself in the Arabian\nNights, I have never been so enthralled as I was by an\narticle of yours called Towards Turkestan, which appeared\nin The Times long since, as it seems now (last May?). I\nam an old, tired recluse. I have been reading for over\nsixty years.
